Hello, we are Oliver and Pau, and we are going to present a love book of Boudicca.

2
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:28,859
Boudicca was the first queen of the Iceni, a tribe of people who lived in eastern England, in Britain, almost 2,000 years ago.

3
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,039
She was intelligent and had been to warrior school.

4
00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:37,700
By 43 AD, the Romans had conquered southern England.

5
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:44,079
southern England. At first they allowed Boudicca and her husband to continue to rule. But when

6
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:52,539
her husband died, the Romans took all his land and property. So in 60 AD, Boudicca and

7
00:00:52,539 --> 00:01:00,100
the Isoni rebelled against the Romans. Boudicca and her army defeated one Roman army and destroyed

8
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:06,159
Colchester, the capital of Roman Britain, and two other cities. She was defeated and

9
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:29,280
In the Battle of Whiteley Street, the Roman governor, Cagliosuo Antonio Paulino, in 61 B.C., in the battle, the Kurds foolishly blocked their escape by patting their carts with all the tribes in the army.

10
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:43,780
If it wasn't for the Roman's ingenious strategy, they probably wouldn't have won. They would set up lines and every soldier would fight for about 3 to 5 minutes.

11
00:01:43,780 --> 00:02:00,780
Then they would go back to the last line and after about 20 minutes they would be back, the front rested and ready to fight again.

12
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:06,780
The rebellion was so shocking to Emperor Nero that he wanted to withdraw from Britain.

13
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:11,780
In the end, the Romans occupied Britain for over 350 years more.

14
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:17,780
But they also treated the Brits more fairly and introduced lower taxes.
